How do I...
Re: How do I...Glad the pics helped Lucy .. about the roof fillers .. no disrespect to Steve .. but I found once the roof was on .. the gaps along the wavy sides were far too much and too near the chooks heads when roosting to leave open.. the wind howled through mine .. With the smaller coops like these each one is going to be different .. but there should already be adequate ventilation from when it had a flat roof .. I also found I have an extra gap along the edge (above the pop hole) which is open now .. but I closed it with pipe insulation when the snow was blowing around as I could hear the wind whistling through it .. you'll have to judge when your new roof is on as the gaps will be different depending how much overhang you have..I had water seeping through the hinges on the nest box, so I overhung the roof enough to solve it and the recessed bit of the roof sits snuggly along the edge that side, but creates the gap the other side ..

Why would you bother with the dense foam thingy when the sides are open ?? [center]Vir prudens non contra ventum mingit[/center]
